About Me

Hi, I’m João — an engineer who loves building things that connect people, whether that’s through wireless networks, software, or smart products. Over the last 10 years I’ve worked across telecom, product, development and customer-facing roles, helping companies launch new solutions, solve tough technical problems, and make technology actually work for the people who use it.

These days I focus on the mix of Product Management and Technical Account Management. I enjoy being close to customers, turning feedback into roadmaps, and exploring how AI, automation, and RAG can unlock better decisions and make teams more effective.

Outside of work, I tinker with side projects like SessionFlow, build websites and write on Wireless in the Making. For me, it’s all about learning, creating, and finding better ways to bridge technology with real-world impact.
